A few days ago a negro man was
on the streets with a live rattle
snake, which he proposed to let
bite him for ten cents or drink of
whisky. Some one gave him a
bottle and told him to drink, which
he did, and then pulling out a
snake. with 10 or II rattles on his
tail, he held bis rist where the rer-
tile could strike. He then called
for more whisky and filled up.
lie allowed the snake to bite his
arm several times, when he got so
drunk that he tumbled in heap.
The snake was examined, and it
was found that the fangs had been
extracted, and in striking it was i'm
possible for it to make a scratch.
Some Of the deluded parties turned
it loose to get even with the sharp
Niger. : [Sumter Republican.
